Pros

Cons

Great Truck. —
This is a great truck. I have 335,000 miles on mine and have not replaced or rebuilt any major components. I spend about $1200 a year in maintenance and minor repairs. Not bad for a 15yr old vehicle. All electrical components are original and still work.

Pros

sturdy, reliable, and powerful. This truck is the lesser of the 1,2,3500 series, and can still meet all expectations. It has the power when needed, and has never let me down before. Another great perk is finding parts for these trucks are a breeze thanks to interchangeable parts.

Cons

gas mileage

Optimal Truck For The Optimal Driver —
These trucks are sturdy, yet elegant. Being the proud owner of a Chevy 1995 c1500 I can honestly say that this truck has classical curves with that nineties flare. With an aluminum front, and fiber glassed back. The c1500's are great trucks for those that need a small, yet powerful truck. These trucks are easily customizable, and look good no matter what path you decide to go with it (lifted, dropped, etc)

Pros

Great Truck

Cons

Needs things like door pockets

8,265

Reliable —
I dont see many 4.3 4x4 full size trucks. It has plenty enough power in this TBI v6.
I love the simplicity of the throttle body, it's not the fastest vehicle out there but
can cruise at 80 if i want to.

Pros

Very tough and relieable

Cons

Gas mileage and rear gears.

Very Tough And Strong But Rear Gears Take Some Power And Mileage Is Laking —
This truck is very tough. It has 211,000 miles on it. We put a motor in at 198,000. The tranny has 211,000 miles on it and we tow a number of trailers regulary. The truck has never let us down. It get about 13 mpg aroud town. When towing it gets 8 to 10 mpg. On the highway it gets 15 to 16 mpg. The truck has a 350 V8 but loses some power with the 3.32 rear gears.Even with the rear gears it still pulls our 3000lb tractor on a 1700lb trailer with no problem.

Pros

hauling moving or dumpin lots of room

Cons

gas mileage

Cons

Reliable —
I love ths truck. By all means, it isnt built for speed and to be a race truck. This truck was built work. Its a tough, reliable, fun little truck. I like the look of it, and the fuel mileage isnt horrible. When you drive it sensibly you can get 16-18 mpg.

Pros

Everything

Cons

gas mileage

Beast —
Awesome, wanted a lifted older truck and so i chose this one and couldnt be happier. has not gotten stuck handles well for a lifted truck and rides smoother for an older truck. still drive in the mud and snow every year.

Pros

Cons

has some milage, 311000 kms

Awsome Work Truck —
great work truck, sounds good, not bad on fuel, looks good, good tires, pulls anything, great 4x4, 5.7 truck was fairly cheap, drove it home, passed safety, runs good, straight body, truck is fun to drive. truck could use some servicing, maybe a new motor and tranny, make it a new truck all over again, would be worth every penny

Pros

Great styling and very reliable

Cons

MPG isnt great but cant expect that with custom wheels and big tires

Excelent Truck That I Will Teach My 4 Children To Driven. Well Maybe Not I Love It To Much. —
I love my truck. Lots of room with a great ride and pulls better than the other 1/2ton trucks of the same year. Just wish I had found a 96 with 3rd door on extcab. Still have it and wont sell but also have 99 crew cab that I got since I love this one so much.

Fun,fast SilveradoBy chevy_cowboy

it drinks gas like no tomorrow and you have to run 93 octane for the best performance out of the 5.7 liter 350. but its a reliable vehicle and will not leave you sitting on the side of the road.
